    "content": "Nations Organisation (UN) between countries; a proper negotiation is where no party leaves with a 100 per cent of their demands met while the other goes with zero per cent. We have been able to find a middle ground. This Bill is available for all the Members to go through keenly and propose amendments. We must put our foot down as a Senate. We must note that the same Bill that we published on the 7th March, 2018, was then published again on 10th April, 2018 by the Government in the National Assembly. If you look at the copy of the Bill that you have, off course it is not a money Bill with the meaning of Article 114, and is a Bill that concerns county governments. In the Bill published by the National Assembly, they still assert that it is not a Money Bill and is not concerning county governments. We do not understand the rationale for ignoring the Senate, especially, when they assert that it is not a money Bill. We heard the pleas even by the national Government at the Legislative Summit where His Excellency the Deputy President asked that we merge all these numerous Bills. The Bills are exactly the same. They copied my Bill, word for word, with exception of the grammatical errors they introduced in the National Assembly Bill. We are asking them to step down theirs which is yet to go for Second Reading, so that once this Bill is done in this House it then goes to the National Assembly and comes back to the Senate. It not being a money Bill and a Bill concerning county governments, there is no rationale whatsoever for it to originate from the National Assembly after it has already been published and is being debated in the Senate. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those many remarks, I wish to move and invite a Member of my Committee, the good Senator for West Pokot County, Sen. Poghisio, to second. Thank you."
